Brittany Mahomes was proud of her husband Patrick not long after the three-time Super Bowl MVP was made fun of on social media for his physique.
On Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs star was named to Time’s list of 100 most influential people. Mahomes shared photos from a shoot with photographer Joshua Kissi to announce his inclusion on the prominent list.
To celebrate, Brittany shared the message on her story shortly afterwards.
“My handsome man,” she wrote over the photo with a smiling face with three hearts, yum and fire emoji.
Hours later, she shared a photo of Patrick with their son Bronze cuddled on the couch. In his feature with Time, Mahomes reiterated the importance of spending time with his family.

‘I checked if I played to Tom [Brady’s] age, my daughter would be 19, 20 years old. That’s how long I’d like to play. At the same time, I want to be there for my daughter,” Mahomes told the outlet.
‘If I can do that, I’ll keep playing. But if I feel like it’s taking up my family time, then I know it’s time to go.”
“My family and football are the first things I want to be good at,” he continued. “If I can go out there and say I gave everything I had on the football field, then the expectations are what they are and whatever is going to happen, is going to happen. And I can be satisfied with that.’
Mahomes also addressed the jokes about his “dad body” in the Time piece. The jokes came when a video of him in the Chiefs locker room showed his not-so-shredded figure after leading the Chiefs to an AFC title win in February.
“Yoooo why do they have to treat me like that!?!?!?,” Mahomes then wrote with three laughing emojis. ‘Like I have kids!!!’

After winning the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, Patrick, Brittany and their kids also went on a family trip, where the quarterback decided to embrace the dad bod and show it off during their tropical getaway in Mexico.
“I definitely have a little bit of the dad body,” Mahomes told TIME before defending his body shape.
“I will also say I have a great body for a quarterback. There has to be some padding in there to absorb the blows we get.”
In addition to winning his third title, Patrick and Brittany celebrated their second wedding anniversary in March.
Although he has enjoyed the offseason, Mahomes and the Chiefs are gearing up to take a three-peat as phase one of their two-week offseason program kicked off Monday.
